Battle of the Books
We are so excited to have another fantastic year of Battle of the Books here at ERE! Please read the
information below to see if your student would be interested in joining. DETAILS ON MEETING SCHEDULE COMING SOON!
About BOTB:
Battle of the Books is a bowl-style trivia tournament that’s all about books, engaging hundreds of young
minds every year! Dozens of teams in grades 3-6 compete against each other in inter-school battles and
finals tournaments to determine a districtwide champion for all of Douglas County.
Students love Battle of the Books, but please know it requires a lot of reading. Your child should begin reading at the beginning of September when the list from DCL is released. Two books will need to be read by the beginning of October. Students will need to be prepared to read 10 books (students may be assigned some, but not all of the books). While it’s lots of fun, it also involves work and commitment. If a student isn’t completing the reading, participating in our meetings, and contributing, we will have to ask them to leave our team. Please sign up with this link if your student is interested in competing in the Battle of the Books.
